Dear Hillary,
I remember some time ago that you got some food questions, and I was hoping you could answer mine. I have seen people eating what looks like an egg “parcel” with meat inside it. What is it? And would it be too spicy for someone like me who is a little afraid of spicy food?

Dear Sally,
I am sure you are referring to a Thai omelet, called “Kai Yat Sai”. Generally the filling is pork based, but you can get chicken as well – ask for “Kai Yat Sai Gai”. It comes with a little bowl of red ketchup – but beware, it is chilli, not tomato, so I’d steer clear of the red stuff! Around 50 baht at most food carts. Enjoy!
